I order some bands for Ruby's topknot on the rhaspsody website a long time a go and I still have some since you know they are only sold in large quantities. Well everytime time I put those in I can't get them out without tearing out hair and it makes me so amd because I care for her coat alot and every time I put one in there goes some of it. So Now i have tried some of those ponytails that are from rubberband also but like cover in cloth and they work much better and I dont end up pulling the hair, which I am sure bothers her also. I am sure removing the bads would have been earsier with band removing siccors but I am not about to order one. Do you have the same problem when putting in bands?
